Private eye to investigate
more allegations at SMU
DALLAS (AP) — A private detec
tive will investigate claims that boost
ers lured recruits to Southern Meth
odist University by providing
athletes with sexual partners and
academic stand-ins, a university pro
fessor said.
The investigator was hired after
anonymous telephone calls alleging
a prostitution and grade-fixing
scheme, Lonnie Kliever, a religious
studies professor, told the Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
SMU Interim President William
Stallcup told the board of trustees
about the calls during the trustees’
meeting Friday, said the Rev. Barry
Bailey, minister of the First United
Methodist Church in Fort Worth
and a board member.
“They were very candid,” he said.
“They said there may be some truth
to it and that they were going to look
into it.”
The investigator was hired to try
to identify the anonymous caller as
well as determine if there is any sub
stance to the accusations, said the
Rev. Leighton Farrell, senior min
ister of Highland Park United Meth
odist Church and a trustee.
Monday, broadcaster Norm
Hitzges said in his morning talk
show that beginning in 1979, two so
rority members were paid $400 a
weekend to have sex with football
prospects. He said the charges had
been discussed by Gov. Bill Clements
and other board members at Clem
ents’ home in 1985.
Hitzges also said students were
hired to help athletes academically,
including taking tests for them.
Clements, who resigned as chair
man of the board after he became
governor in January, denied the re
port Monday.
“It is absolutely untrue,” he said.
Kliever, who headed the school’s
investigation into the improper cash
payments for football players, said
the anonymous calls were made to S.
Leon Bennett, vice president for le
gal affairs, last week.
“In the present climate, they felt
they had to take the calls seriously
and they retained a private investi
gator to look into them,” he said.
In addition to hiring the investiga
tor, SMU officials have also ap
pointed a committee to look into the
matter.
On Feb. 25, the NCAA suspended
SMU’s 1987 football program, citing
a booster slush fund that paid 13
athletes a total of $61,000.
Spurs stop Rockets 103-97
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Artis
Gilmore scored 24 points as the San
Antonio Spurs avenged a string of
five straight losses to Houston with a
103-97 NBA victory over the Rock
ets Tuesday night.
David Greenwood led San Anto
nio’s attack, scoring 14 points, dish
ing out 10 assists and pulling down
15 rebounds. The Spurs had five
players in double figures — Walter
Berry had 22, Jon Sundvold 18 and
Johnny Moore 17.
Houston was led by Akeem Olaju-
won with 22 points.
In the fourth period, the Rockets
closed to 90-88 before Moore hit
nine straight points for the Spurs to
pull ahead 99-92 with 3:49 to go.
Houston guard Allen Leavell next
drove the length of the court for a
layup to cut the margin to 99-94.
Houston blew an opportunity to cut
San Antonio’s lead to three when
Olajuwon was whisded for double-
dribbling with 1:44 remaining.
In the first half, the Spurs nearly
blew it completely, leading 33-24 af
ter the first period, only to be out-
scored by 10 points in the second pe
riod. They trailed 55-54 at the half.
Greenwood made his first triple
double — or getting double figures
in points, rebounds and assists — as
a Spur during the game.
“For David, getting a triple-dou
ble on one leg is pretty good,” Spurs
coach Bob Weiss said. Prior to Tues
day’s game, Greenwood had missed
the last three games with a sprained
big toe on his left foot.
“That’s what I heard, that I got a
triple-double,” Greenwood said. “It’s
been a long time since I had one of
those.”
Ags break slump to pound Gophers
A&M batters
come alive
for nine hits
By Loyd Brumfield
Assistant Sports Editor
It was just a matter of time be
fore the Texas A&M baseball
team really pounded someone to
break out of a midseason slump.
The time was Monday night at
Olsen Field. The victim: the per
ennial baseball power of Minne
sota.
The Aggies rode a nine-hit at
tack and excellent pitching to
blast the Gophers 8-1 and im
prove their record to 23-12-1
for the season.
The win breaks a six-game los
ing streak for A&M, which had
lost 10 of its last 12 games before
Monday. The Aggies also were in
dire need of a victory before they
tangle with conference opponent
Texas Tech this weekend in Lub
bock.
“It’s nice to get a win,” A&M
Coach Mark Johnson said. “We’re
really pleased with our effort to
night.”
The Aggies came out in the
first inning with bats ablaze.
Right fielder Don Wren led off by
blasting a triple off the wall in
right center field, and shortstop
Ever Magallanes sacrificed to first
to drive in Wren and give the Ag
gies their first run of the inning.
Second baseman Terry Taylor
then singled to bring home third
baseman Scott Livingstone, who
had walked.
A&M finished the first inning
with a 2-0 lead.
The Aggies took a 3-0 advan
tage in the second inning when
Magallanes hit a looping single
into left field to score catcher
Maury Martin, who had reached
on a double into center field.
The Aggies loaded the bases in
the fourth, the result of two costly
Minnesota errors. And A&M
added another run when Martin

another error.
A&M didn’t score again until
an explosive eighth inning. Mag
allanes and Livingstone hit con
secutive singles, and Byington hit
his 10th home run of the season
to bring them home and Martin,
who had led off with a walk.
Minnesota got its lone run in
the fourth when catcher Mike
Halloran singled to drive home
right fielder Tom Ward. Ward
had three of the Gophers’ four
hits.
Starting pitcher Randy Pryor
struggled with early control prob
lems in the First inning by walking
two batters. But he then settled
down and retired seven Minne
sota batters in a row.
“We were very pleased with
our pitching tonight,” Johnson
said. “We wanted four good in
nings from Randy and that’s what
we got.”
Darryl Fry relieved Pryor to
start the fifth inning and was im
pressive in getting the victory.
He also pitched four innings
before being relieved in the ninth
by Pat Wernig, and allowed only
one hit while walking none and
striking out three.
Mike Pavelka was the losing
pitcher for Minnesota, ailo*
six hits while walking foun
striking out two before beinti

Magallanes had the best to
performance for A&M. goin;
for-4 on two singles and gtc
three RBI. He wastheonlv.^
to get more than one hit.
"Everything went very wd:
us tonight,” Johnson said ’

10 champs. There are not
wins.”
The Aggies and the Gopkr
will face each other again todi
3 p.m. at Olsen Field.
